This group is designed as a safe place for all single adoptive parents to share their unique j …

TeenLife.com is an amazing resource for parents with older children 12-19. I started the site when I moved to Boston with my family, including two boys who were in 6th and 8th grade at the time.

Today, TeenLife Media features more than 4500 local, national and international listings, including summer program …

It is exhausting, overwhelming, and often isolating. I hope we can share resources and support, and have a little fun while we're at it. Feel free to e-mail m …
